Collect feedback from participants on flip chart papers. Stick them to the wall, so that they are visible. II) Distribute a copy of the handout “To achieve the I statements” (see below). Ask participants to answer to three questions on the handout. Allow 5/10 minutes for individual work.

IV) Go through answers and: 1) clarify that these will be the ground rules that each participant will be expected to respect during the training; 2) clarify any expectation that will not be met during the workshop (5 min). |
